Bush was looking for the singular event that would establish his place in history. He wanted to use the 9-11 attacks and the unparalleled support afterwards to force his way into the history books.
He envisioned himself as the single person who would reshape the region once and for all. If he could only remove the dictatorships and replace them with democracies, the people of the entire region would rise up in democratic revolution with US support.
Iran was the key. If he could establish strong democracies with solid economies and high standards of living in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Iranian people would finally rise up and insist on their own rights. Once Iran fell, the rest of the countries in the region would fall like dominos as they embraced democracy.
Since democracies do not encourage terrorism, Bush would solve the problems of the region once and for all and be hailed as a hero and his presidency would be one of the greatest in modern history

Ron Paul is a near perfect replica of this guy:
4. Iraq would still be living under a dictatorship (and terror state comparable to North Korea) rather than a islamic styled democracy comparable to it's neighbors (before Iraq was the worst dictatorship in the middle east, now it is one of the most democratic).The Iraq sanctions were a near-total financial and trade embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council on the nation of Iraq. They began August 6, 1990, four days after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait,[1] and continued until May 22, 2003, after the fall of the Saddam Hussein government in the US-led invasion earlier that year. Their stated purpose was at first to compel Iraq's military to withdraw from Kuwait and after that to compel Iraq to pay reparations, and to disclose and eliminate any weapons of mass destruction, and to do certain other things.
Initially the U.N. Security Council had adopted Resolution 661, a resolution that imposed stringent economic sanctions on Iraq.[2] After the end of the 1991 Gulf War, those sanctions were extended and elaborated on, including linkage to removal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), by Resolution 687.[3][4] The sanctions banned all trade and financial resources except for medicine and "in humanitarian circumstances" foodstuffs.[2] They were perhaps the toughest, most comprehensive economic sanctions in human history. The controversy over the increased child-and-infant mortality, poverty, and suffering of the Iraqi people during sanctions led two senior UN representatives in Iraq to resign in protest.[5][6] Increased child mortality was observed in those parts of Iraq under Iraqi government control (the south and the centre), but not the (then independent) Kurdish north, where child mortality decreased.[7][8][9]
Estimates of civilian deaths during from the sanctions range from less than 100,000 to over 1.5 million, most of them children.[10]

cute, you seem to think controlling the ME oil will result in cheap oil for the diamond daves. lol
Actually it's even worse in EU nations, they do that while pretending there are no poor people or unemployed, plus push the scam that thanks to democratic socialism/social democracy there will be no poor people some day. Makes a great Utopian fantasy novel, but every economist with a brain (and not using it to lie to make themselves money) realizes that socialism/social democracy as well as the current US economic system are all failed economic policies.Where is it? Where is our control of it??

It's fucking incredibly amazing how seriously stupid these people are about economics.
Half the time I keep thinking..well it's unfair that we have obscenely wealthly people in the country while many are direly poor.
Then I see some of the direly poor..and think, fuck..if they can scam the country out of money because the people are so damned idiotic...well..then..they deserve it.
If we did it for the oil, why haven't we received any oil out of Iraq yet?
Wasn't oil supposed to pay for everything?
